"instead of waiting for people to help you, just do it yourself" well said!!!
Thank you guys for sticking it out! Got to see you live in Houston, fan for life!
me and my wife are just a couple of old farts,(pushin 60) and we havent been this excited about goin to see a band since the 70's and 80's, please come to california so we can get on board! love you guys
ACHIEVEMENT!!
The more I hear about you, whether it's interviews, covers or your own songs, the more I'm amazed by you authenticity as artists; And I mean REAL artists who are multi instrumentists, hardworkers and more than anything: inspiring people trough your art. I'm delighted that you put a huge fist in the musical industry's ass, which just corrupts art in every way they can for profit.
Anyways guys I'll follow you, I'll listen to you and I'll grow a beard! Cheers from Paris and THANK YOU
Excellent! I'm glad I back tracked 9 years to watch this. No wonder why I like WOTE so much. Love you guys! Especially your work effort and how you communicate that.
Not only talented, but also truly sweet authentic people. Refreshing.
damn love what Marshall said there: "If everyone could think of what their favorite hobby is, and actually have the chance to do that as a career,it's just awesome - an awesome feeling".
Love love love the energy you bring to what you do and who you are !!
Thank you
You my friends touched my heart...Please stay true and beautiful as you are...Giannis, you seem a little worried about whats going on and whats coming, JUST DONT...FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS, ALL OF YOU...WE WILL BE ON YOUR JOURNEY SUPPORTING TRUE MUSICIANS AND HUMANS...THANKS!!
Certainly, one of the coolest bands ever.
Thank you for your effort and art, a wonderful group of talented and earnest people. I wish you all the success you hope for and peace in your hearts.
Just love what you are all doing,Love watching your vids i check everyday on youtube to see if you have any more stuff out there.Keep it up.
Inspiring. I never heard these guys talk really until this. Cool people. You can tell they care about each other.
You’ve come a long way since then, but you seem to still be the same people. Seriously hard working, and still grounded. Even after Taylor’s passing, you are doing what you love doing and keeping it very real. Keep at it guys. You are an inspiration. Xx
these people are just amazing, so down to earth, so talented and im just sorry i didnt know about you before the "viral vid", you guys rock and thank you for doing these songs so amazingly!!!!
You are all amazingly talented! Keep your current thoughts n stay in touch with your feelings. SO glad that "Somebody That I Used to Know" went crazy around the world and put you in forefront. What is it about Canada that produces such incredible musicians?....Walk Off the Earth, Rush and Triumph...WOW. Keep on truckin'!! And PLEASE try and get to Grassroots- Fingerlakes Festival of Music and Dance, in Trumansburg, NY. (at least we're close to one another!)
They are just so amazingly talented and modest. I love them! :)
me and my friends just started a little group, this interview is really inspiring! i hope you guys make it all the way:)
Where is the dude with the beard ? He is like a sir LOL
Beard guy passed away
we see that you work very hard! thx a lot for that! : ))))))
I've been referred to as the "new WOTE manager" due to the amount of excitement and promoting I've done of the band over the past couple of weeks (jan 6th newbie). Maybe boarderline annoying to my social media friends I'm sure. Every video and bit of news is like getting to the next level of a new game. It's been a while since I've been this excited about a new band (and thanks for turning me on to Gotye!) Thanks so much for staying true, creative and allowing us to experience this ride alo
You guys are so awesome!
so happy for them. Wish 'em all the best in the future, you guys are gonna be BIG !
I love that you guys stress that hard work is what got you here! This really shows how modest you are! You seem to forget how talented you are! What you have is God-given and very few people own that!
Love these guys and what they're doing!
A amazing band with the right way of thinking. I like there music a lot and hope they stay this way. Thanks guys ( and Sarah ofcause ;).
Is this camera guy alright?
Wants to see Marshall blush or cry? No clue.
I really do believe WOTH is incredibly talented and everyone should watch them on youtube to appreciate what talent they are
I heard those magic words i look for in my music. Musical Integrity. Love these guys!
I love you guys. You are so original even with your covers. I am so happy that you put such artistry in your music, especially in today's age. All pop sound the same. Keep it up!!
since i found this video i've been watching 4-5 times a day, love this band and the song
They are amazing :D Love them... specially the use of so many instruments at the same time :D
this vid was uploaded on my birthday wich was a nice surprise, and there vid had about 8 mil veiws. now there is over 100 mil views and i have there albums and im still loving there music.
Hey WOTE, I love your music! Everything about it is so unique, refreshing, and fun! BTW, I'm a grandma and I can't wait to show these videos to my 14 year old grandson and 12 year old granddaughter. They are going to LOVE you! I don't think I've ever seen so much real, raw talent in any music anywhere. I'm a musician too so I can't help but listen with a critical mind, and hey--you got me! Peace in!
My family and I are really looking forward to seeing you in Buffalo,NY on Dec.7th
I really hope you guys and girl can do the Milwaukee Summer Fest.
Yea we watched them, and we love them girl! Yall ROXX
I absolutely love you guys.
The 26 takes were worth it, guys. Incredible. So incredible. Such inspiration to people who need to know it takes work to do what you love.
Its darn cool to see how well these guys have done!
I love the comment "Stop wasting time trying to get people to help you. Just do it yourself." Bravo. You're great people. I wish you all the success in the world.
I'm so happy for them
The three musical musketeers, all brilliant musicians. So glad for your break, smart move to have your own label, wonderful interview. Rock on, , I listen daily still, awesomeness , no type cast , you all play everything extremely well and all have beautifully toned voices, I love you all for all of your talent and being a master's of your Art
awsome...you guys are so real...i love it !!!!
Its true, if youalll didnt get so many views, it wouldnt get played on the radio all the time (yes also in the Neatherlands) I would never have found you on youtube, i think.
And its a good thing you didnt get famous first time youve played, cuz now ive seen so many songs i really love and subscribed. Keep up the good work.
Fell in love with these guys. They sound great and the music they play always puts me in a great mood. Have seen them twice and they get the crowd involved and it feels like New Years eve. Have tickets to see them again this March and encourage everyone to give them a try. If you like them as much as me feel free to donate too.
Great interview
you guys rock keep the faith and love your music
come to Moncton New-brunswick PLZ :)
I see that everyone's talking at the moment about whether or not it was a live recording, but could it be that it took 26 takes to FILM the moves, rather than just record some track(s)?
unique, talented and a joy to see and hear. gives me hope for the future of music. cool.
Great Band! And really good interviewer too!
They are all very talented musicians and they absolutely ROCK! Love'm and every song they have performed to date. 8) Cheers Walk off the Earth! Don't ever Stop!
Love this band!
just came across these guys .wow they are amazing
Thank you for using your magnificent talent for good and not evil!!!! Love your music, WOTE.....
I just love them, but they sound really tired here:) but they're still amazing!!!! :P
Great interview... some nice and incredibly talented people. I hope they continue to work with the Korean guy too--he is AWESOME and really brings a LOT to the group. Everyone is great! Keep up the hard work--you are getting very well known--thanks to your work and videos.. And just goes to show---not everyone needs to go crawling and begging to the Big Wigs in "The Industry". Times have changed--and they are going to have to come along for the ride because it IS and ALWAYS has been the PUBLIC--the PEOPLE who DECIDE who THEY LIKE not the "Big Wigs"... Great job guys... hope to see more of you.
Good people and they are all super talented.
Aousome, please don't let success spoil the fun, and please, remember to keep the egos in check. I can see that that won't be an issue for you guys by your vibe. Peace out and All the Best!!
can't stop watching their vids...
i love all there vids
Congrats guys...when I first saw it, I knew you had a big one in hand. You all deserve it, and Sarah, you are a cutie!!
son unos geniosss!!! vengan para Argentina
Gianni about the record labels calling: "We've already done it...Why would we give you all our money?"
YAH!! Exactly! I'm so proud and happy for these guys. Such talent & hard work, fun and love and luck ---> Success!!
People "in charge" have screwed things up long enough. The internet is changing the world.

Such a great video about a great band. I hope they are still independent and remain so as a shining example.
das finde Ich auch! From Holland, dear neighbour...
Excellent guys!!!!
I can't believe you guys came to Fort Lauderdale just a month ago and I missed it!!! Come back soon!
very down to earth group, keep it real!!! contratz, sounds like you really deserve it!!!
the multihanded guitar thing really reminded me of andy mckee..loved it!
Pure talen, all class. I'm excited to see where this band goes this year.
I'm regaining faith in the world, just love them!
Was this recorded after 14 shows? It's weird to see them so quiet...
Yay southern Ontario!!
Sarah is so dead on about watching all of the other videos. I have watched every WOTE video I can find since first seeing Somebody I Used To Know as well as I Knew You Were Trouble. Definitely a great band and I hope to see them in Florida some day.
WHY IS THE AUDIO SO BAD? you are a professional news source.
The camera thing... This is an ENTIRE, 'raw' interview, with NO EDITS. The camera person is thinking about how this will be 'cut' and has to move fast from one shot to the other. Since this was never actually cut (edited) in any way, all the camera's (seemingly random) movements were left in. Also... when camera zoomed in to the person's eye, they were just checking that the focus was still sharp. These guys are great. I hope they keep their heads on straight wile they enjoy the ride.
I'm proud to be a fan of these beautiful guys.
"what we do is what we do and making sure that stays true".... perfect!
Woah G your shoes a pretty big...ya know what they say about big shoes... Love your work!!
Omg Marshall you're so amazing!
i love your voice and your cute... Very cute. ;)
What talent, keep on rockin'
They kick ass hope they go all the way to the top and never come back down.
I want to thank Gotye because he brought me here and introduced me to Kimbra. Hope to see you guys in Austin.
I love people like this!
Ich finde die Gruppe einfach mal toll.Macht weiter so !!!

They're amazing together!
I love their comments about the music industry, labels, and independent artists. Mass-produced pop music will always exist so the labels will always have their place, but now and in the future more and more music will be produced buy people like this; independent artists reaching out to their fans, open, honest, and REAL. Congratulations to WOTE on reaping what they've sown with all their hard work. Can't wait to see them live in Australia!
And now its over 60.000.000 views
You guys are awsome!!! More indy/plain old new bands need your mentality and views on how to create an inspiration and great band. Please don't sign to a major lable that's only wants to make money off your talents and "tell you what fans want/like". I think your better off going into the buisness as you are.... A strong, talented, inspiring, down to earth and ethical band.
It's rare to find people you're connected on that level.
Well good luck you guys ! Guess what ? You Wont need it ! Great Interview ! Looking forward to your Album ! Best Wishes Steve Burns. Torquay Devon . England
TRUTH...!!!
their from my town :D
So how did you guys find the beard man and the other man?
If you have watched any of their other videos - you would understand that they are truly talented and awesome. They are not trying to fool people. They are the real deal - deal with it!
the like and dislike buttons are too close together - it is far too easy to hit dislike when you want like, especially when using a touch screen tablet. And with this band, like and love are the only options!
This is superb! Walk off the Earth is very, very cool, and Blackwood here is bloody Stunning! Forgive me, teenage guy you know. Man I dig this stuff. Check out their other stuff too!
so good
